Hi,

I am have PC with Access 97 and 2003 installed.
The mdb extension is et to 97.

I am opening a 2003 mdb via a win form written in vb.

the database opens and the tries instantiate a
DAO global database object.

A reference to DAO 3.51 exists.

But on the OpenDatabase of the following code I
get a "unjrecognized database format" error.

I think it has to with 97 but don't know why.

Global gobjWSjet As DAO.Workspace                   '--Jet workspace object
Global gobjDBjet As DAO.Database                '--Jet database object

   Set gobjWSjet = CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
   Set gobjDBjet = gobjWSjet.OpenDatabase(CurrentDb.Name, False)
